Planning an IBL lesson

R. Zahra

INSTRUCTIONSForm groups of not more than 5 . Each group must have a common subject.

Choose a lesson from an upcoming topic that you shall be covering with your students in the near future.

R. Zahra

INSTRUCTIONSYou are going to plan that lesson again with the aim of changing it into an IBL lesson.

You need to be realistic and plan to keep the same timeframe – basically, you want to use what time is available in a better way.

Planning points

1. Where the you want your students to get to (learning goals)

2. How will they get there (success criteria) Bloom’s Taxonomy

3. How will you check where they are (assessment/ feedback)
